The Trumps may be considering a goldendoodle named Patton as the official White House pet, but the Pences have no such dilemma. Vice President Pence and family brought their furry entourage to the Imperial City earlier this month.

The Pences have two cats, Oreo and Pickle, and a bunny named Marlon Bundo.

Bundo has been on several adventures, including a fancy trip to D.C. with his other fluffy family members:

Bundo is pretty adorable, but my favorite executive pet story goes to Andrew Jackson’s parrot, who’d picked up such vile language, it had to be carried out of Old Hickory’s funeral. Meanwhile, Coolidge had his very own wildlife collection, complete with raccoons, a bobcat, and donkey.

I’m looking forward to more tweets from the BOTUS. Note to the media….bunnies like to eat dandelions and other undesirable things. Don’t annoy the BOTUS or he will go to thumper mode and you’ll be sorry.

Finally!!!! Putting Michelle O’s garden plot to good use… BOTUS can have all the honestly grown veggies available on the grounds (versus the amazing variety and volume found with Michelle O’s green(backs) supply).

Maybe the Pences are just ‘Preppers’, with a optimistic view of the duration of societal collapse. “I’m sorry honey, Marlon’s time is up. We need the meat, and I don’t see things getting better until next week.”

The White House is long overdue for a first rabbit. A groundhog that will predict climate change. A goldfish that will predict global warming. A canary that will predict catastrophic change. With a bird’s eye-view, it could supplement the incomplete and insufficient skill of models.
